Engineering Manager

This is a remote position.

About Aveni

• Own performance, development, and progression of your team
  

• Own the individual performance and development of your direct reports, setting a high bar, giving honest feedback, and creating conditions for engineers to grow into real ownership.
  

• Build a self-organised team, initially playing a facilitating role in ceremonies, with the explicit goal of no longer being needed to run the process.
  

• Partner with Product on roadmap planning, making sure engineers understand the context behind the work, not just the tickets in front of them.
  

• Own your team's delivery, keeping engineers unblocked, priorities clear, and commitments met.
  

• Spot patterns in how your team operates, design better ways of working, and build the automation that powers those improvements.
  

• Stay close enough to the codebase to spot friction, improve developer tooling, and engage credibly in technical discussions, without stepping onto the critical path.
  

• Drive hiring alongside our Recruitment team, contributing to interview process design, and a high-quality candidate experience.
  

• Set the cultural expectation around AI coding tools, building team-wide norms for responsible, high-quality AI-assisted engineering.
  

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• Extensive experience in software engineering, with genuine hands-on technical experience. You know what good code looks like and can get into the details when it matters.
  

• Proven experience as an Engineering Manager or Team Lead, with real ownership of individual performance and team culture.
  

• A track record of building high-trust, high-autonomy teams, not teams that work because of you, but teams that work because of the environment you built.
  

• Good understanding of Node.js or Python, and React. Enough to have credible technical conversations, review code, and debug issues alongside your team.
  

• Experience with Agile/Scrum, and a track record of improving how teams deliver, not just following a process.
  

• Genuine excitement about AI coding tools. You use them yourself, you help your team use them well, and you stay current on what's emerging.
  

• You enjoy management and leadership problems. Growing and unblocking people, building the processes and frameworks that make the team better. These are things you actively want to do.
  

Why Aveni

• We're building AI systems for a sector where trust and safety genuinely matter and we take that seriously in how we engineer.
  

• High-trust, high-autonomy culture: we give engineers real ownership and expect them to use it.
  

• AI-native engineering culture. We use AI tools across the full software lifecycle and expect our engineering leaders to lead from the front.
  

• High-growth fintech at an exciting moment. New products launching, the team scaling, and the chance to shape how engineering works at Aveni for years to come.
